Aircraft N9078E, This was one of the nicer hangars 78E has enjoyed but it was for only a short time.The City of Tracy for some reason decided to tear it down thus putting four planes outside. Go figure., at TCY, photo by S B J

Aircraft N9078E, 78E & Champ 93E doing 360s (8K feet level) to gain altitude needed to get over the Sierras. Aeroncas are very good planes, but with 65hp, they are not eager climbers. There was not any lift from Mother Nature so the Aeroncas had to do it on their own., photo by S B J
